The accretion of dark matter subhaloes within the cosmic web: primordial anisotropic distribution and its universality

Xi Kang, Peng Wang

The distribution of galaxies displays anisotropy on different scales and it is often referred as galaxy alignment. To understand the origin of galaxy alignments on small scales, on…

Vortical Motions of Baryonic Gas in the Cosmic Web: Growth History and Scaling Relation

Weishan Zhu, Long-long Feng

The vortical motions of the baryonic gas residing in large scale structures are investigated by cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. Proceeding in the formation of the cosmic web…

The Age-Redshift Relationship of Old Passive Galaxies

Jun-Jie Wei, Xue-Feng Wu, Fulvio Melia +2

We use 32 age measurements of passively evolving galaxies as a function of redshift to test and compare the standard model (CDM) with the Universe. We show that t…

Cosmic reionization of hydrogen and helium: contribution from both mini-quasars and stars

Jing-Meng Hao, Ye-Fei Yuan, Lei Wang

Observations on the high-redshift galaxies at imply that their ionizing emissivity is unable to fully reionize the Universe at . Either a high escape fraction of ion…

Utilizing the Updated Gamma-Ray Bursts and Type Ia Supernovae to Constrain the Cardassian Expansion Model and Dark Energy

Jun-Jie Wei, Qing-Bo Ma, Xue-Feng Wu

We update gamma-ray burst (GRB) luminosity relations among certain spectral and light-curve features with 139 GRBs. The distance modulus of 82 GRBs at can be calibrated wit…
